FLEA CONTROL PROGRAM IN DUBAI

FLEAS CONTROL SERVICES

Fleas are small, wingless insects that are external parasites, feeding on the blood of mammals and birds. Fleas are known for their jumping ability, which allows them to move rapidly between hosts. There are numerous species of fleas, but the most common ones that interact with humans and their pets.
Fleas are not just a nuisance; they can also transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Effective flea control involves treating both the infested animal and its environment. This may include using flea shampoos, topical treatments, and environmental control methods like vacuuming, washing bedding, and using flea sprays. Regular grooming and veterinary care for pets are essential in preventing and managing flea infestations.
It's crucial to hire licensed and experienced pest control professionals for effective flea control. DIY methods may be insufficient for severe infestations, and improper use of insecticides can pose risks to people and pets. Always follow the advice and recommendations of the professionals to ensure a safe and thorough flea control process.

CAT FLEA

The cat flea is one of the most common and widely distributed species of fleas. Despite its name, it can infest both cats and dogs, and it can also bite humans. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in various environments. Cat fleas are ectoparasites that feed on the blood of their hosts. The bites can cause itching, irritation, and, in some cases, allergic reactions. They are powerful jumpers, capable of jumping vertically up to 7 inches (18 cm) and horizontally up to 13 inches (33 cm). This jumping ability allows them to move between hosts and navigate their environment efficiently. They are carriers of various diseases and parasites. They can transmit tapeworms to pets, and their bites can cause flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), an allergic reaction in some animals. FAD can result in intense itching, hair loss, and skin inflammation.

DOG FLEA

Dog fleas primarily infest domestic dogs, but they can also bite other animals and humans. While they share similarities with cat fleas, they are considered a separate species. Like other fleas, dog fleas are ectoparasites that feed on the blood of their hosts. Their bites can cause itching, irritation, and discomfort in dogs. In some cases, repeated bites can lead to more severe allergic reactions. They are known for their powerful jumping ability. They can jump significant distances both vertically and horizontally, allowing them to move between hosts and navigate their environment. Dog fleas can transmit diseases and parasites, and their bites may cause flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) in some dogs. FAD is characterized by intense itching, redness, and skin irritation.
